"TRYING OUT MASCOTS AT A MASCOT FACTORY" In the 1920s and early Thirties, leading artists and sculptors turned their attention to car mascots. People such as Auguste Bartholdi (best known for the Statue of Liberty), Rembrandt Bugatti and Rene Lalique were inspired by the emerging car manufacturers' increasingly flamboyance. Voisin, Citroen, Hispano Suiza and Bugatti, among others, were beginning to see the potential of the automobile as art, and the artistic community wanted a piece of the action.Punch, a magazine of humor and satire, ran from 1841-2002. A very British institution renowned internationally for its wit and irreverence, it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.It is hard to escape the legacy of the Punch Magazine. From 1841 to 2002, the magazine cast a satirical eye on life in Britain. It charted the interests, concerns and frustrations of the country and today it stands as an invaluable resource not just as cartoon art and satire, but as primary source material for social historians.
